A little awkward and shy...

TLDR: A little awkward and shy...
The forum thread is a welcoming conversation for a new user, @itsxanderkaidyn, also known as Xander (he/they), who introduces themselves as someone with autism, depression, anxiety, and possibly PTSD. Xander expresses interests in various entertainment forms and hobbies such as Jane Lynch, "The Weakest Link," reading, writing, drawing, and gaming. Multiple users, including Catsmother, Kivessin, Kyng, and others, warmly welcome Xander to the forum. Catsmother and JustAnotherSapphic briefly discuss the American revival of "The Weakest Link" hosted by Jane Lynch, noting it has not returned in the UK. The thread is characterized by friendly greetings and an overall welcoming atmosphere, with users expressing enthusiasm about getting to know Xander better and encouraging them to enjoy their time on the forum.
...but very glad to be here (thanks @Catsmother).

Some of you might know me from DF as DialAForAlan, but in any case, call me Xander (he/they pronouns, please). I have autism, depression, and anxiety (and maybe ptsd from past trauma).

Things I like include Jane Lynch, The Weakest Link (classic and current), Anne Robinson, reading, writing poetry and fanfiction, drawing, and gaming. See you around the site.
